The best solution would be to get 24-36 C-130J pure cargo format planes and replace the balance AN-32s with C-295s. The C-130Js would fulfill the requirement of higher cargo carrying capacity, whenever required, as well for high altitude operations. Remember the C-130s can take off and land at DBO, ...

Embraer is having financial problems. Maybe we can even buy out the complete design and technology of the C-390 and setup a production line ourselves in India. It can replace both the AN-32 and cater to some of the roles that Il-76 was performing. For dedicated heavy lift aircraft, we can then look ...
